Some remarkable scores have been put up, the highest being 186 points to 6 against
C.Y.M.S. on the latter’s ground. Parkside and Braybrook met in the final match, which
Parkside won by 38 points. With the premiership goes a pennant and the right to hold "The

Consistently good form was shown by several young players, among whom Dell (forward),
Conabere (wing), Wishart (follower); W. Herring (Follower and forward), L. Herring (centre),
Peart (rover) and Rogers (Half-back) are capable of developing into valuable senior men.

A presentation night, in the form of a smoke night, is to be held, when the pennant, shield
and individual trophies will be awarded. It is intended to again enter the team in the Junior
League next year.”
